White House slams outrage over Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ads, calls it 'big reason' Americans voted for Trump
Yahoo Entertainment ^ | Thu, July 31, 2025 | Mekishana Pierre

The great debate over Sydney Sweeney's recent denim disaster has a new participant: the White House.

White House communications director Steven Cheung took to social media on Tuesday to defend Sweeney's new campaign for the clothing brand American Eagle — which has sparked backlash and accusations of racism — and slam liberals' reaction to its ads.

"Cancel culture run amok," Cheung wrote of the negative response to the campaign, which included claims that the brand is glorifying a racial ideal during a fraught political time.

But Cheung took things a step farther, adding, "This warped, moronic, and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024. They're tired of this bull----."

The campaign in question, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," is based on a seemingly harmless play on words for the 27-year-old star's "great genes." However, critics of the campaign have accused American Eagle of espousing eugenics ideology — which promotes white genetic superiority and which historically enabled the forced sterilization of marginalized groups — and baiting contrarians on the opposite end of the spectrum to blame it all on "wokeism."

“Here’s the deal.”

Nope. I am not Catholic and Thomas Aqiinas is no authority for me.

“In this proper, moral, truly conservative context, it is the effeminate male who’ll ogle at Ms Sweeney’s commercials.”

Effeminate males don’t ogle at females and they don’t do it by having “custody” (you must think that sounds intellectual) of their eyes. They ogle other men.

“Even if he voted for Trump and comments on FR, this fembot has an unwillingness to put aside his pleasure in order to pursue what is arduous.”

fembot?? Now I know you are not stupid enough to say that to someone’s face. You are a coward.

pursue what is arduous???

You don’t what the hell you are talking about.

You have written a load of crap and too self-righteous to recognize it.

By the way. Do you ever listen to music? Do you enjoy hearing a women sing? According to you, if you do, you are a weak effeminate man on the road to burning in hell.

I like the commercials. They’re a breath of fresh air after the drab, uncreative, vomit-inducing diverse crap that’s been shoved down our throats for 20 years.

“I don’t want to see anyone’s derrière on a commercial.”

The jeans she wears are not immodest. They’re loose fitting. I’ve seen much worse in church.

“the Commandments don’t have a carve-out.”

Like ... The Ten Commandments. Which one pertains?

“all of the church ladies out there can park it”

I’m a church lady, and I like the ads.

The disgusting little rats are misrepresented what Trump said. It’s nuance. His election and the overall woke rejection were both examples of the country saying we’re done with all the leftist BS. Yahoo is trying to say Trump is taking credit for the ad probably to get the jean company to distance itself from Trump. It is a attempt to manipulate.

Not to be a downer, but I thought conservatives were for proper morals, traditional values, and modesty.

Traditional conservatives today are largely extinct, and have been since about 2016.

There's two primary political factions today. On the left, there's woke, Marxist, pro-Hamas social justice warriors, and on the right, there's populist nationalism. And they like boobs.

Commandments - covet (10) and adultery (7).

Again, I get the appeal. It FEELS like this commercial is a return to normalcy versus the nonsense I listed.

It’s still giving in to pleasure over reason. If it was the supporters’ daughter instead of Ms Sweeny, reason should kick in.

It’s just a silly ad. Both sides are making much ado about nothing.

Many different kinds of people are featured in American Eagle commercials. Anyone can watch their commercials here: https://www.youtube.com/@americaneagle/videos

The company has had many ad campaigns. The “Great Jeans” ad campaign is the company’s latest. The commercial with Sweeney (I still have no idea who she is) was probably only the first one in the “Great Jeans” campaign.

The company probably had other ads planned with other models talking about their “jeans.”

I get the point you’re making here. This isn’t a TV commercial that promotes moral values. There’s nothing ‘conservative’ about it. Yet, the Left has lost their minds over it, and the Right is defending it. Even the White House has weighed in.

With all the buzz these ads have created, they can hardly be called a “disaster”.

Well, this is interesting...

Remember Brooke Shields’ Calvin Klein Jeans commercial: “You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.”

That’s what these American Eagle ads remind me of.

Just found out that Brooke Shields was in another Calvin Jeans commercial where she talks about genetics and natural selection and the “survival of the fittest...” (she’s talking about jeans):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXzR5b6HoIA

That’s where American Eagle’s advertising team must’ve gotten their idea.

“fembot.”

The Sidney Sweeny ads are meant as a joke.

Calling someone a fembot for being entertained by them and proclaiming yourself following scripture means you are disgusting, self-righteous prick.

And yes, you are a coward, since I and most men would slap your head off if you did it to our face. But, you are a safe keyboard warrior. Screw you and don’t ever post me again.

Yes, we are all sinners.

Let’s be lifted up by God and his servants, and endeavor to avoid dragging Him down to our level.

Be well and have a great day.
